Your surrogate child can apply for ILR in the UK if the child is in the UK and is not eligible to apply for British passport, right of abode or British nationality. For the surrogate child to apply for ILR, the legal parents of the child must be either British Citizens or settled persons in the UK. Furthermore, an application for ILR as a surrogate child can only be made after the parents of the surrogate child have obtained the parental order and thus become the legal parents of the surrogate child. An application for ILR will be made in accordance with requirements as set out in paragraph 298 of the Immigration Rules.

Application For Parental Order After Child's Birth
Once your child is born, you will need to become the child’s legal parent. More information on how to do this can be found online Surrogacy: legal rights of parents and surrogates.
A Parental Order can only be made by the court in England and Wales after the child has reached the UK. Pursuant to 54 and 54A of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008, at least one of the intended parents (or the intended parent in the case of single applicants) must be domiciled in the UK or the Chanel islands or the Isle of Man, and the child must be living with the intended parent or parents in the UK at the time of the Parental Order application. Further, Parental Orders may only be granted where at least one parent has a genetic link to the child. There are various other conditions that need to be met.
The process is different if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. More information is contained in the guidance: Surrogacy: legal rights of parents and surrogates.
